Drayton, ND "Bombers"
My High School was named the Bombers (Macomb).

I was told when I was in HS the name was for two reasons. One was the name had a military affiliation to go along with the local university that was named after the U.S Marines (Western Illinois Leathernecks). The other reason was that one of the soldiers that were on the "Enola Gay" Bomber that dropped the first nuclear bomb on Japan was from Macomb. I know that was talked about when there was a made for TV movie called I believe "Enola Gay," which was about the soldiers and events of that bombing.

Peace
